Taylor Swift Defends Image, Takes Bite Out of Miley Cyrus (photos!)

Taylor Swift takes being a role model seriously. She’d rather keep her clothes on, thank you.

Taylor Swift defends her image and takes an indirect swipe at Miley Cyrus in a new interview in Glamour magazine. Swift is all about being a proper role model and keeping her clothes on. “It’s not an urge I have,” she said.

“I find it relatively easy to keep my clothes on because I don’t really feel like taking them off,” she told the magazine.

Cyrus, one the other hand, can barely keep hers on. She appeared nude in her “Wrecking Ball” video and in a video for rapper Future’s song “Real & True.”

She also appears semi-nude in new photo spreads in Love and W magazines.

“For me ‘risky’ is revealing what really happened in my life through music,” she says.

“Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is. That’s putting myself out there, maybe even more than taking my shirt off,” she explains.

Swift says she feels more exposed when she writes about her inner feelings in her songs.

“As a writer you have to be open to everything, and that includes pain, rejection, self-doubt, fear,” she explains.

“I deal with that enough on my own. If you look hard enough, you could find somebody on the Internet criticizing every single thing about you. If you’re me,” she says.

Swift also has a formula for dealing with relationships. “Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums,” she says. “Never give anyone an excuse to say that you’re crazy.”
